I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Sony Electronics (Brunswick, OH) in Aug 2009
Interview
First there's the initial phone interview with the offices in NJ. Then a technical interview ("What's the problem if there's no post?" kind of questions). This is the most important part where they find out if you really know what you're talking about. Then you meet face to face with the store manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if you were working on a computer and questionable content came up as the screen saver?
